Answer:

is the same

Explanation:

Half life is define as the time it take for fifty percentage of a radioactive material to disintegrate. After the first half-life passes, half (fifty percentage) of the remaining radioactive material will disintegrate in the next half-life. Then, half of that amount in turn disintegrate in the following half-life and the halving continues.

Answer:50% of its starting atomic mass

Explanation:

The radioactive decay is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation. The half life is the time taken for the activity of a given amount of a radioactive substance to decay to half of its starting mass.

At rest, hydrogen has a spectral line at 116 nm. if this line is observed at 107 nm for the star sirius, how fast is sirius movi
Citrus2011 [14]

2.3275862×10¹²km/s fast is sirius moving in km/s.

<h3>Briefing:</h3>

Hydrogen has a spectral line at = 116nm=116×10⁻⁹m

Line is observed at = 107 nm=107×10⁻⁹m

Now, from the Hubble's law

V=(\Delta \lambda / \lambda)×C

Where,

v is the velocity

Δλ = Change in wavelength = 116 - 107= 9nm=9×10⁻⁹m

λ = Actual wavelength=116nm=116×10⁻⁹m

C is the speed of the light=3×10⁸m/s

on substituting the respective values, we get

V=(9/116)×3×10⁸=23275862.069×10⁵m/s

V=2.3275862×10¹²km/s.

<h3>What is the wavelength?</h3>

A waveform signal's wavelength, which is the distance between two identical locations (adjacent crests) in the succeeding cycles, determines whether it is sent through space or via a wire. Typically, in wireless systems, this length is specified in meters (m), centimeters (cm), or millimeters (mm).

How long will it take to travel 200 m traveling at 10 m/s? Follow example below.
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

variables  - d = 200m \: v = 10 m {s}^{ - 1}  \\ equation \:   - v =  \frac{d}{t}  \\ 10 = \frac{200}{t}  \\ cross \: multiply \\ 10t = 200 \\  \frac{10t}{10}  =   \frac{200}{10}  \\ t = 20s

It will take 10 seconds to travel 200m at a speed of 10m/s

Explanation:

HOPE THAT THIS IS HELPFUL.

HAVE A GREAT DAY.

A 2.6 kg mass attached to a light string rotates on a horizontal,
Ainat [17]

The maximum speed the mass can have before it breaks is 2.27 m/s.

The given parameters:

  • <em>maximum mass the string can support before breaking, m = 17.9 kg</em>
  • <em>radius of the circle, r = 0.525 m</em>

The maximum speed the mass can have before it breaks is calculated as follows;

T = ma_c\\\\Mg = \frac{Mv^2}{r} \\\\v^2 = rg\\\\v = \sqrt{rg} \\\\v_{max} = \sqrt{0.525 \times 9.8} \\\\v_{max} = 2.27 \ m/s

Thus, the maximum speed the mass can have before it breaks is 2.27 m/s.
